    If you are not 100% in lockstep with the narrative you will be attacked here and accused of being an agent of the enemy.

        republic
        /rĭ-pŭb′lĭk/

        noun

        1. A political order whose head of state is not a monarch and in modern times is usually a president.
        2. A nation that has such a political order.
        3. A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them.

        Xanthrax is using definition 3 while others are using 1. Should have been easy to resolve without vitriol. But maybe you “know what [he’s] doing” and are “just putting that out there”?

          We are a republic and a democracy (the latter is questionable now). Just like many other nations in the world.

          This is not a new piece of disinformation, it’s been around for a long fucking time. So yes, when I see people parroting these easily disproven lies (and then refuse to accept it when someone corrects them), I tend to question their motives.
